Lyrics

This here is the place where I will be stayingThere isn't a number, you can call the pay phoneLet it ring a long, long, long, long timeIf I don't pick up, hang up, call back, let it ring some more, ohIf I don't pick up, pick upThe sidewinder sleeps, sleeps, sleeps in a coil

Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake herCall me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake herCall me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her, oh

There are scratches all around the coin slotLike a heartbeat, baby trying to wake upBut this machine can only swallow moneyYou can't lay a patch by computer designIt's just a lot of stupid, stupid signs

Tell herTell her she can kiss my assThen laugh and say that you were only kiddingThat way she'll know that it's really, really, really, really me

Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake herCall me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake herCall me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her, oh

Baby, instant soup doesn't really grab meToday I need something more sub-sub-sub-substantialA can of beans or blackeyed peas, some Nescafe and iceA candy bar, a falling star, or a reading from Doctor Seuss

Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake herCall me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake herCall me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her, oh

The cat in the hat came back, wrecked a lot of havoc on the wayAlways had a smile and a reason to pretendBut their world has flat backgrounds and little need to sleep but to dreamThe sidewinder sleeps on his back

Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake herCall me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake herI can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her, oh

Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake herCall me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake herI can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her, oh

Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake herCall me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake herI can always sleep standing up. Call me when you try to wake her, oh
